Whipped Feta with Lemon and Dill

Whipped feta with lemon and dill is the perfect summer spread! Classy and sophisticated with the bright flavors of lemon, it’s perfect spread on a crisp slice of French bread!

This might be my new favorite appetizer. It could have been everyone raving about it that gave it the nomination of my favorite, but really, there’s more to it than that. It has all the great salty flavor of feta, but it’s smooth and silky. It has bright citrusy lemon complemented by herby dill.

It’s most definitely going on my next cheese plate — trust me, it’s going to be the one thing people keep inquiring about. What’s this? What’s in this? This is SO good!

A few things about this whipped feta. Use block, full-fat feta. It’s going to give you a better, smoother result than crumbled feta. Just say no to fat-free feta. Reduced fat will do, but you really want full-fat for this recipe. I do use reduced-fat cream cheese because it’s naturally softer and easier to blend into this whipped feta. Again, stay clear of nonfat. Full fat will work just fine as long as you soften it on the counter for 45 minutes to an hour prior to preparing this recipe.

If you’ve tried my herbed feta dip, this recipe is similar but the lemon really makes this one stand out. It’s bright and cheerful and absolutely perfect with a rich, bold olive oil. Grab the best bottle in your pantry to drizzle on top — it’s the perfect accent to the tart citrus. Trust me!
